Hi

I have a “recent posts” block on a site I’m working on. I want it to display the most recent 5 posts from a certain channel, regardless of the category we’re currently in. So I understand I need:
```
<ul>
  {exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit="5" disable="categories"}
    <li>{title}</li>
  {/exp:channel:entries}
</ul>
```
However it doesn’t seem to be working. The posts displayed are still affected by navigation through categories. Am I doing something very wrong? 😊

lukemartin,

Welcome to the forums 😊

Try the dynamic= parameter
```
<ul>
  {exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit="5" dynamic="no"}
    <li>{title}</li>
  {/exp:channel:entries}
</ul>
```
